Guess what year The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour debuted. Prepare yourself: 1967. Tom and Dick Smothers’ comedy was ahead of its time then yet timely now, which will be evident in their show at The Grand Opera House on March 15. The brothers have continued to crack up live audiences from coast to coast with their satirical and gloriously uncensored bits. It was their struggle against censorship that got them fired from CBS in 1969. Many trophies sit on their mantels now, including the George Carlin Freedom of Expression Award, which recognized the brothers’ unfailing support of the First Amendment. “The Smothers Brothers continue to amaze,” says The Grand’s executive director, Steve Bailey. “After all these years, their show still pushes the envelope and continues to entertain in the same way their legendary TV show did in the 1960s.” For more, visit grandopera.org, or call 652-5577. —Maria Hess
